Despite the traditional view of Schizophrenia (SZ) and Bipolar disorder (BD) as separate diagnostic categories, validity such a categorical approach is challenging. In recent years, hypothesis continuum between (BD), postulating common pathophysiologic mechanism, has been proposed. Although appealing, this unifying may be too simplistic when looking at cognitive affective differences these patients display. paper, we aim to test an expanded version according which extends over three...
Over the past years, electroencephalography (EEG) studies focused on task-related activity to characterize cortical responses associated with emotion regulation (ER), without exploring possibility that regulating emotions can leave a trace in brain by affecting its oscillatory activity. Demonstrating whether effect of alters after session and this reflects an increased cognitive regulatory ability has great relevance.To address issue, 5 min electrical at rest were recorded before (1) one...
Previous morphometric studies of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) reported inconsistent alterations in cortical and subcortical areas. However, these have investigated the brain at voxel level using mass univariate methods or region interest approaches, which are subject to several artifacts do not enable detection more complex patterns structural that may separate BPD from other clinical populations healthy controls (HC). Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) is a whole-brain multivariate...
The aim of this article is to present recent applications emotion regulation theory and methods the field psychotherapy. term Emotion Regulation refers neurocognitive mechanisms by which we regulate onset, strength, eventual expression our emotions. Deficits in emotions have been linked most, if not all, psychiatric disorders, with patients presenting either dysregulated emotions, or dysfunctional regulatory strategies. We discuss implications regulating from two different theoretical...
Child trauma plays an important role in the etiology of Bordeline Personality Disorder (BPD). Of all traumas, sexual is most common, severe and associated with receiving a BPD diagnosis when adult. Etiologic models posit abuse as prognostic factor BPD. Here we apply machine learning using Multiple Kernel Regression to Magnetic Resonance Structural Images 20 13 healthy control (HC) see whether their brain predicts five sources traumas: sex abuse, emotion neglect, emotional physical (Child...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe whose neural bases are still unclear. Indeed, previous studies reported inconsistent findings concerning alterations in cortical and subcortical areas. In the present study, we applied for first time combination of an unsupervised machine learning approach known as multimodal canonical correlation analysis plus joint independent component (mCCA+jICA), with supervised random forest, to possibly find covarying gray matter white (GM-WM) circuits...
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe personality disorder whose neural bases are still unclear. Indeed, previous studies reported inconsistent findings concerning alterations in cortical and subcortical areas. In the present study we applied for first time an unsupervised machine learning approach known as mCCA+jICA, combination with supervised Random Forest, to possibly find covarying GM-WM circuits that separate BPD from controls also predictive of this diagnosis. To aim,...
A key challenge for the visual system is to rapidly process continuous stream of incoming information, segregating separate events over time. Visual temporal acuity has been measured using two-flash fusion (2FF) paradigm, in which ability correctly report presence both flashes depends on interstimulus interval (ISI). When ISI near threshold, participants sometimes seeing two but often only see one flash. Several studies have linked this fluctuation momentary brain state, as by EEG. In a new...
Despite the kraepelinian differentiation of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, several data questioned this net subdivision suggested a continuity between two. An expanded continuum hypothesis was suggested, assuming common psychotic core two disorders, as well cognitive affective differences. The present study aimed to investigate similarities differences disorder for what entails dimension continuum. A coordinate-based meta-analytic approach on neuroimaging applied understand in visual...
Abstract There is a speed-accuracy trade-off in perception. The ability to quickly extract sensory information critical for survival, while extended processing can improve our accuracy. It has been suggested that emotions change style of processing, but their influence on speed not yet clear. In three experiments, combining online and laboratory studies with different emotion induction procedures, we investigated the both affective states, manipulated music, individual traits...
